The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has again called on the state government officials never to join issues with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.<\/p>\n

The governor made this call in a statement issued on Wednesday by the state Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Paul Ohonbamu and his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie.<\/p>\n

The statement read: \u201cThe Edo State Government has again taken notice of extremely hostile, malicious and incorrect statements attributed to Oshiomhole by his media aides in various newspapers and media outfits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis continuous spewing of invectives and purposely distorted accounts are aimed at creating a sense of tension and crisis in and around the state and the country when none exists.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Godwin Obaseki has, therefore, restated that on no account should any government official in Edo State join issues on the continuous unwarranted vitriolic comments on the person of the governor and the government by Oshiomhole\u2019s media aides purportedly acting at his behest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe position of the government is to pursue the path of peace in dealing with ensuing issues for the good of all Edo people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Governor and leader,\u00a0Obaseki<\/a>\u00a0is in firm control of the APC in Edo State and there is no reason whatsoever to even moot the idea of leaving the party where he enjoys tremendous support and goodwill both at the state and the national levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor, however, warns those intent on disrupting public peace that he is determined in his resolve to continuously carry out his primary responsibility of maintaining order and protecting lives and property as the Chief Security Officer of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

The governor, whose rift with his predecessor continues to worsen by the day, has often cautioned against attacks on the former governor.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff to Obaseki, Taiwo Akerele, has said the governor did not do away with projects started by his predecessor.<\/p>\n

According to him, the governor only refused to continue with certain \u201cbad policies\u201d of the\u00a0Oshiomhole<\/a>\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIf the governor wanted to be a dictator, he would take charge and not concede these decisions. He does not want to appropriate authority to himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants the will of the people to prevail. He had come under pressure to be in charge of the party but he said \u2018no\u2019, that there is a party structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
